Having put to bat first, the Capitals were bowled out for 75 runs in 16.3 overs. Impact Player, Abhishek Porel, emerged as the highest run-scorer as he scored 30 runs in 33 balls, with the help of three boundaries. David Miller also accumulated 19 runs in 18 balls, including three boundaries.
Later, the Bengaluru men chased the target by scoring 77 runs for the loss of one wicket in 6.3 overs. Impact Player, Jacob Bethell, scored 20 runs in 11 balls, including a boundary and two maximums. Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal registered scores of an unbeaten 23 and 34 runs, respectively.
Facing 15 balls, Kohli smashed a boundary and two maximums, whereas Padikkal registered three boundaries and the same number of maximums in his 13-ball knock.
Kohli also scripted history by becoming the first-ever player to complete 9000 runs in the history of the cash-rich league.
